Barajas, a former paratrooper who was born in Zacatecas state, crossed illegally into the United States at age 7 and served in the Army from 1995 to 2001. Deported U.S. Army veteran Barajas is getting U.S. citizenship after California Gov. Jerry Brown pardoned him for a criminal offense and he sued to regain permission to live in the United States. Lawyers for Hector Barajas say they were told Thursday, March 29, 2018, their client should attend a naturalization ceremony on April 13. Barajas is prominent advocate for deported veterans.
